John Willson:  

I went to elementary school in Waterford at John Montieth and Della Lutes before moving to Pontiac in 5th grade attending LeBaron and Madison Jr. High I would like friends I knew in Waterford to contact me. I lived at 2233 Crane St. My Dad first taught at Pontac Central and started the sport of wrestling in Pontiac. I went from PNHS to Indiana on a wrestling scholarship with Bill Green.

We have four great children. Andrew, 28, is married to Lindsey. They live in Colorado and are school teachers. Eric 26, also an Indiana grad, is a photography teacher and coach. Brent 24, a Northwestern engineering grad, has chosen banking over engineering. Laura 21 is a junior in college and an elementary major. No grand kids yet. We have spent our summers in Colorado and love hiking, climbing 14,000 ft. mountains, fishing, golfing and horseback riding. I now do some carpentry and home repair, a lot on my own home. In 2007 I went to Louisiana twice to do Katrina relief, spent a week in the UP doing carpentry at a church camp, got to Colorado 4 times, and took a road trip to Arizona where Nancy and I climbed among the grand Saguaro cactus'.
